[Rarebooks] FS: Art Ages- Pedro Lemos Pictorial Art Deco Survey of Art Styles

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

"Art Ages"

By Pedro J. Lemos. Published in Worcester by School Arts Magazine: 1929.

Pedro J. Lemos (1882-1954) was an artist and educator, Director of the
Stanford University Museum of Fine Arts, editor of The School Arts
Magazine, and author of “Applied Art”. In this charming portfolio he
divides art history into ten periods- Egyptian, Assyrian, Grecian, Roman,
Byzantine, Romanesque, Saracenic, Gothic, Renaissance and Georgian/Early
American, and devotes 4 illustrated plates to each- the first plate in
each section being a reproduction of one of his Deco-esque color woodcuts
showing a period scene, the next three plates showing costume,
architectural details, and objects of the period. Altogether a beautiful
Art Deco design book.

Portfolio. 10.25”x14”, card portfolio enclosing a text sheet that folds to
become six pages, plus 10 color and 30 black & white loose plates. A few
plates with some minor marginal smudges, covers a bit scuffed, cloth
portfolio ties perished. $250
